adding HTML comments to pages

We'd like to have some of our HTML-style comments actually render in the page vs. being stripped out by the VF compiler.  Is this possible?

Do you want to render the HTML tags saved in the comment field as it is on VFPage?

Could you explain what you are trying to do?

I want to render

 

<!-- some comment here -->

 

on the actual page, so that when I go to view source on that page, I can see that comment.  the VF compiler skips these comments now.

 

Also, this page is rendered as XML, so I cannot use any javascript to do it.

I need this, too. Our Google mini appliance takes real-time instructions from certain html comments in a page as it is indexing the content.   The compiler's <!--*******--> doesn't work so well.

Here's what worked for me in order to avoid those nasty asterisks [for whatever reason those were invented]...
